NIGP 49065: Nuclear Equipment and Accessories: Magnetic Shielding, Particle Accelerators, Counters (Research Type), Scintillating Crystals, etc.

NIGP 49065 Nuclear Equipment and Accessories: Magnetic Shielding, Particle Accelerators, Counters (Research Type), Scintillating Crystals, Etc., an Item code, encompasses the movement, installation, and supply of specialized laboratory and analytical equipment, chemical reagents, and hazardous materials used by state environmental, law enforcement, and agricultural agencies. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through two pathways: full-service laboratory relocation contracts—involving the professional moving, recalibration, and installation of sensitive analytical instruments such as gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers, ICP-MS systems, and forensic laboratory equipment—and indefinite-quantity supply agreements for chemical reagents and crystals used in ongoing laboratory operations. Issuing bodies include state departments (natural resources, highway patrol, agriculture), county purchasing offices, and special-purpose districts; the Missouri solicitation, issued through the State of Missouri Division of Purchasing on behalf of three state agencies simultaneously, reflects the scale and complexity of multi-agency laboratory consolidation projects.

Recent activity centers in Missouri and Florida. The State of Missouri Division of Purchasing posted a laboratory relocation RFP on July 9, 2026, with proposals due August 11, 2026, to relocate analytical equipment and hazardous materials from three state facilities into a consolidated campus in Jefferson City, requiring contractors with five years of analytical laboratory relocation experience, hazmat-trained personnel, and minimum insurance of $2 million per occurrence. Pasco County, Florida issued an RFQ on June 3, 2026, for as-needed supply of large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate, with proposals due June 26, 2026, structured as an indefinite-quantity contract with one or more vendors. The Missouri contract runs through April 30, 2027, with two renewal options, and is partially federally funded with corresponding compliance requirements.
